Expertise is unclear

Writings are dismissive
In June 2011, in the Chronicle of Higher Education weblog, posts appearing under Wood's byline included a 3-part attack on sustainability, , and a post casting doubt on human-caused climate change and dismissing the work by John Mashey and others to expose and counter the climate denial PR effort.
